WoW servers are back up after a speedy Tuesday Warcraft maintenance to start the (reset) week

This week’s maintenance schedule for World of Warcraft is once again refreshingly light: all WoW servers will be down for just an hou this morning. Here’s today’s maintenance schedule:

• The War Within: Offline from 7am – 8am pacific (10am – 11am eastern)
• Cataclysm Classic: Offline from 7am – 8am pacific (10am – 11am eastern)
• WoW Classic (including Classic Era, Season of Discovery, Anniversary, and Hardcore realms): Offline from 7am – 8am pacific (10am – 11am eastern)

All WoW servers are back online.

However, maintenance shouldn’t be a long wait. With just an hour of downtime, you’ll be checking your vault (or restoring your Hardcore character) before you know it.

I’ll update this post with the latest maintenance updates, but don’t expect the servers to be offline longer than scheduled. (But Blizzard has proven me wrong before, so maybe keep your fingers crossed anyway.) The WoW servers came back online a few minutes early and without issue. Hooray!

In the meanwhile, you can listen to the soothing sounds of this Warcraft tavern music mix that Blizzard posted on YouTube last week. At slightly longer than an hour, it’s sure to make the time zoom by.
